Kate’s Bosworth's beauty recipe

Wellbeing

Kate Bosworth talks about her summer beauty preparation, from healthy eating to getting in shape for movie work.

SC: Do you do anything else in terms of treatment?

KB: I really love going to Korean spas in LA. There’s one in particular where they do just a regular brush scrub. It’s called Beverly Hot Springs. I think it’s the only natural mineral hot spring in LA. It’s got the hot and cold pools, so that’s always nice to do. What I get is called the Body Scrub/Body Care Combo. They scrub but then it’s also real yoghurt on your body and then real honey all over your body and they shave cucumber. It totally smells like breakfast.

SC: How do you get your body ready for movies?

KB: When I did Blue Crush, it was hand in hand with the real requirements, which was surfing six hours a day. It was the strangest thing, looking back on it, I didn’t even think about how I looked in a bikini because I was wondering if I looked realistic, like a surfer. It was more about representing this properly and not looking like a fool. It’s such a protective community and they’re so passionate. You would know that better than anyone, here in Sydney. It’s really a specific community and so I really wanted to do that justice. People often say, gosh that’s so brave, but I didn’t even think about that. I was so focused on representing it and it took so much work just to get that.

SC: What about diet?

KB: I’ve been eating a lot healthier of late, just because as I’ve suddenly found myself having no energy. The energy that you have in your teens and early 20s is just non-stop. I’m 29 and all of a sudden I really needed to take a look at how I can get a better life for myself. I’m not militant about anything. People get these crazy routines and different things work for different people and I just bring it to basics with healthy vegetables and fruits and lean meat and just limit the preservatives, and just don’t be too hard on yourself. If I’m doing something that needs lots of energy like a press tour or a film where I can’t afford to be exhausted, I’ll be a little bit more aware of what I’m putting into my body. If I’m just on holiday, it’s okay. We cook so much for Jasper, Michael’s daughter, so we’re always cooking sausage ragù and just really good, home-cooked meals.
